The Nick's Life
Miss So Badly

After the dinner with the two families, the couple went straight into the room. One by one Abe noticed an object in Sansan's room. His hand then stretched out to take a picture frame with a photo of Sansan wearing an SD uniform. His laughter exploded as Sansan, who was smiling, looked at his toothless front.

“His laughing habits, don't worry about it,” grumbled Sansan.

“You laugh wide gini don't catch a cold what? There is no barrier hahaha.”

“Ish brother Abe bummer.”

Not caring about Sansan's protest, Abe continued his activities. Sansan sat himself by the side of the bed watching the man who had been her husband. Then the girl stood up and walked towards the closet, taking a towel from inside.

“Still not satisfied roving? I'm rich Satpol PP again impromptu inspection.”

Abe chuckled at the wife's decision. He then sat himself in the chair that was on Sansan's study table. Rotating the chair, it was like an SD child who found a new toy.

BLUKES

Sansan deliberately put the towel he took from the closet and dropped it right on Abe's head. Anxiously he picked up the towel that covered his head.

“Basic wife durhakim.”

“Mandi there, sister's body stinks!”

“There is, scented gini,” Abe raised both his hands and sniffed his armpits alternately.

“Basic slut. Hunting bath. Brother want me to make what drink?”

“What aja.”

“Ngga what's up. The presence of tea, coffee, water the same orson.”

“Hahahaha... orson. feel again talking about grandmothers. I want milk only.”

“What husband?”

“Susu you hahaha.”

BLUKES

BLUKES

Sansan took the pillow and then slapped it on Abe. The man was still curled up while covering his face with both arms as a shield. From between his arms, he could see Sansan's blushing face. After beating up her husband, Sansan immediately walked out of the room.

Abe got up from his seat and headed to the bathroom after picking up a change of clothes. All the ridiculous speech and behavior was just to cover up the nervousness that struck. He is not Arnav, Denis or Fahrul who has been used to being alone with women in the room before marriage. This was his first experience, of course the man was nervous.

Sansan went into the room and placed a glass of warm white milk on his desk. Knowing Abe was still in the bathroom, the girl rushed to change her clothes. The opening of the first instant hijab that covers his head is then changed to wearing baby doll sleepwear.

Sansan's heart was racing as the bathroom door opened. Abe came out wearing a t-shirt and jogger wrapped around his body. His face looked fresh with drops of water from his hair, and of course grew handsome. Abe was silent in his place. His eyes continued to look at Sansan with a new look. The girl's slightly curly hair was smeared until it touched the shoulder.

“Engg. It's milk drunk yes brother. I'm going to bed, sleepy.”

Sansan hurriedly climbed onto the bed and laid his body on his back to Abe. His hands pulled the blanket to the chest. The girl tried to close her eyes even though the drowsiness had not greeted.

Abe walked towards Sansan's study table and sat himself in a chair. His hand reached for the glass filled with white milk. Actually, he just idly mentioned about milk, but no doubt spent the drink as well. Finished finishing his milk, Abe crawled up onto the mattress and laid his body.

The man chose to lie on his back. His eyes stared straight at the ceiling. A moment later he glanced at Sansan who seemed to have fallen asleep. Unable to close his eyes, Abe began to fad. He stabbed Sansan in the back with his finger.

“San.. San..”

“Hmm..”

“Udah sleeping?”

“Udah.”

“Udah can still answer.”

“Kan sister nanya.”

“If you sleep does sound like something?”

“Ish.. Brother Abe sleep there, disturb mulu.”

“Ngga can sleep. San.. chat bentar yuk.”

Finally Sansan turned his body towards Abe. Otherwise, it was certain that the man would continue to disturb him. Abe changed his sleeping position. Now the two are in a position to face each other.

“San.”

“What's a sister?”

“Can't you change the post? Sister.. sister.. feel like a scout builder.”

“Continue calling what? Abah's? What crank?”

PLASTERED

Sansan complained while rubbing his forehead that was hit by the flick of Abe. His lips pursed, making Abe even more anxious. His wife's lips drawn with both fingers. Sansan hit Abe's arm in annoyance and the husband chuckled.

“San.. tomorrow I have to go back to Bandung,” Abe's voice starts to sound serious.

“Kok cepet really big brother.. uh. bang uh. mas. Ish... brother want to be called what?”

“Mas aja yes to be more friendly,” Abe rubbed the top of Sansan's head, making the chest of the girl swish. Sansan's reflexes lowered his head, hiding his blushing face.

“Me and Fahrul already have to start our business. I also have to prepare a place to stay for us. I want once you catch up with me move, everything is ready.”

“I don't want to live in mas.” apartment

“I'll find a house. But it may not be as big as your home. Nothing at all?”

“Ngga anything mas. What Abe ready for, I received.”

“Still San. Later if Arnav moves, you can come to Bandung. I'll take you home, will you?”

“Iya.”

Abe grabs Sansan's head and lands a kiss on his forehead. His hand then grabbed his wife's waist and then pulled towards her, so that their bodies were not far away. Shamefully Sansan poked his head against Abe's chest. The heartbeat of her husband was pounding no less than hers.

“I can ask you something not mas?”

“What?” abe asked as he rubbed Sansan's back.

“Mas must be nice to me even though I do not love me.”

Abe's hand stopped. He broke his embrace and then rewinded his body a little. His finger grabbed Sansan's chin and then leaned towards him. The two of them met and locked each other.

“Whose word do I not love you?”

“Mas love me?”

“Hmm. I don't know since when. But obviously I love you.”

“Totally? I don't have PHP-in anymore, right?”

Sansan's round eyes looked towards Abe. The man still pursed his lips. Then his face moved closer and landed a kiss on Sansan's lips that no one had touched. Sansan's eyes reflexively close when he feels her husband's tender kiss.

“I love you, Sandirna Oktavina, my wife who is a brat,” Abe explained after ending his kiss.

“The default should not be called kali.”

Sansan pursed his lips. Abe quickly snatched back the lips, then mel*matnya with a little haste. Although this is not Abe's first kiss, his wife's lips are sweeter. Sansan, who had never kissed before, only returned as he could.

The girl's breath gasped for breath after Abe ended his long kiss. His face was flushed, just like a tomato ready for harvest. Abe's thumb moved to rub the rest of the saliva that was attached to the ranum's lips.

“As long as we are LDR, you must be diligent in watching movies yes.”

“Film what brother?”

“Film that many kissing scenes, so that later you can meet you can reply to my kiss.”

“Ish..”

A slow blow landed on Abe's arm. Holding back the embarrassment, Sansan lowered his head to Abe's chest. The man held back as much as possible his desire that began to rise. If only the wife was not idle, had been pounced from earlier.

🍂🍂🍂

The next morning everyone was gathered at Denis' apartment unit, minus Nick. After shubuh Diah immediately took her son and husband and when she returned to Bandung. He did not want the child to linger in this big city. Nick may accidentally meet with Iza later.

The four men plus Ayura and Sansan sat together in the living room. Azka Ants play cell phone in room. Abe intended to say goodbye to Denis, among others only Denis remained in Jakarta.

“You guys are seriously moving to Bandung? Keep me staying alone here?”

“Sorry, Den. You know I'm the same Fahrul want to start a business together. There is no way I PP Bandung –Jakarta. Weight at cost same cape also.”

“Iya, Be, I understand. But why did Mr. Takur move anyway? You're here aja me, napa.”

“Gue wants to move on from Meta. You know for yourself, Rivan's house is the same deck of Meta's house. We're likely to meet bigger. So I better move. All I want to do is watch out for when.. When that. I suspect he has a crush on Nick.”

“If for Nick and Iza's sake, I would marry the Bila. I have enough to follow the will of mommy, cover the whereabouts of Nick from Iza. I'll find a way to get them together again.”

“But you know the reason mommy did that,” said Denis.

“Gue agrees with Arnav. Nick deserves to know about Iza, how they are still tied to the wedding rope. I know, Den, you love mommy, I also but what mommy does is not true.”

“Mommy is just afraid of losing Nick.”

“Nick is fine. Lo see for yourself yesterday, the situation has been much better.”

“This is why so on the debate anyway,” interrupted Abe.

Both Denis and Fahrul kept their mouths shut. Sansan and Ayura who had just become loyal listeners, let go of each other's eyes. Both of them did not expect the situation to be this small. Arnav watched his best friend one by one. It seemed like he had to say something that only he knew so far, so that his three best friends would support him.

“Iza. blind.”

All who were there were flabbergasted at Arnav's short speech. All eyes were immediately on the man who was often called by the name of Mr. Takur. Arnav took a breath before starting to tell a story.

“At the time of the accident, Iza's eyes were hit by a piece of glass and damaged her corneas. His eyes could no longer see. He was waiting for the donor to see again. It's not just Nick and Mommy who are suffering. Iza's situation is just as bad. She has lost her son-in-law, her eyesight and also her husband. Iza ngelarang I tell mommy about her condition without her knowing that mommy is trying to separate her from Nick.”

No one spoke after Arnav revealed the truth about Iza. Ayura could not help but cry, imagining that she was in the position of Iza. So did Sansan, the girl's eyes seemed to be glazed over. Abe pulled his wife into his arms.

“Gue support elo, Ar,” Abe said slowly.

“Gue too,” connect Fahrul.

“Let's reunite Nick with Iza,” replied Denis steady.

“Udah should they unite again. I will do anything to make nobus my mistake,” continued Arnav.

The mood was silent again. The four men know very well how important Iza is in Nick's life. The presence of Iza also indirectly affects them. Nick's changes slowly infect them one by one.

“Ok.. fix. We all have one voice on Nick and Iza. How about the case lo Den?” Fahrul shifted the topic to dispel the sad atmosphere created earlier.

“All the evidence and witnesses from Reisa turned out to be fake. Just wait for the police to leave SP3. Abis it I'm free.”

“Gratitude deh. Last morning I saw on social media, the perverted video of Reisa as one of the entrepreneurs has been widespread. He became the moons of Medsos. He was also called by the police about the porn videos. Not just one, but five. And amazingly different men all,” said Arnav.

“Tuh entrepreneur is not elo right Rul?” abe asked with a laugh.

“Bangk* lo!”

The atmosphere that had touched the blue began to change with joy. Half an hour later, everyone came home. Arnav must return to the office, while Fahrul and Abe prepare to Bandung. Abe brought his wife home.

The condition of Denis apartment unit immediately deserted after the death of his friends. Denis sat quietly in the middle room. Ayura, who had just finished washing the dirty glasses of former guests, approached her husband who was daydreaming.

“Thinking what?”

“Ngga. I'm thinking about going to bed for work. You know my contract yesterday was severed unilaterally.”

“Long. I know you're no longer thinking that. You must be sad because you moved your best friend, right?”

Denis is long. The man shifted his seat then laid his head on the lap of the wife. What Ayura said was true. The departure of his best friends obviously made him sad. Especially if they are the family he has.

“I don't mind if we move too. I can meet Mai again.”

“But school Azka.”

“It's just the beginning of the semester, no problem if he moved.”

“Bener Ay?”

“Iya. I know they're not just friends to you. They are your family. Anyway how can I see my husband grieving.”

“Still Ay. I'll be preparing for our move soon. Once the investigation is stopped, we will move.”

“Iya.”

Denis slightly straightened his body while pulling the nape of Ayura. His lips slowly clenched his wife's lips. Now Ayura is no longer ashamed to return Denis' kiss. Their appearance and l* their service deepened. But everything had to stop when Azka's voice called her mother.

🍂🍂🍂

Upon returning from Bandung, Bryan and Diah locked themselves in a room. Bryan needs to talk back to his wife. She rejects the wife's idea to get Nick and Iza divorced. And for the umpteenth time, the two engaged in a long debate.

“I hope you want to rethink the divorce of Nick and Iza. You can't do it. Stop being selfish, Di. It will only make Nick suffer.”

“I just want the best for Nick. Doctors have diagnosed him with permanent amnesia. I just want him to start a new life without his past presence.”

“Then, not only Iza, but all of us must also disappear from Nick's life. Because of me, you and all of Nick's best friends is his past.”

“Don’t be ridiculous (not silly), Bryan.”

“You are ridiculous, Di. You force something based on your assumptions and desires alone, without thinking about the circumstances of Nick also Iza.”

“Nick is my son! I know what's best for him!”

“Don’t you ever said that again! Nick is also my son!! (never say that again! Nick is my son!). If you still insist on your wishes, then I am the first one who will prevent it. Let's see, your plan or my plan will succeedl.”

Bryan exasperatedly came out of the room. There was a thud as the man closed the door. Diah held her breath, this was the first time she had seen Bryan this angry. Since long ago, the man always be gentle and also very patient to deal with it.

I heard the weight of Nick's breath. The man was in the hallway on the second floor. But he could still hear a loud noise down there. From Abe's reception, the relationship between his parents is strained, not knowing what they are fussing about.

“Nick.”

There was no intention from Nick to turn his head when he heard a voice when calling him. The girl walked over and stood right next to Nick. Although often get a cold response from Nick, but the spirit when never receded. In addition to his responsibilities, the girl was also curious about Nick's figure. And to be honest, he's hoping Nick will give him a little attention.

“Why not go home?” finally, a speech came out of Nick's lips.

“After.”

“Do you not have a job? Don't you have to go to the hospital?”

“This is my job, talking to you.”

“Your patient is not just me.”

With a faint smile, Nick's defensive wall was completely impenetrable to him. The atmosphere became quiet, If you do not want to disturb Nick who was somehow thinking about what. Just being by Nick's side made her happy. The silent atmosphere between them was interrupted by Bryan's presence.

“Bila.. pak Dwi is ready to take you home.”

“Oh yes om. Nick, I'm home first yeah.”

No answer from Nick, the man was still busy with his own thoughts. If you immediately move away, the shame also felt on Bryan to remember Nick who continued to ignore him. Bryan approached Nick who was still pensive. Pat the child's shoulder until it turns its head towards him.

“What do you think?”

“I miss someone dad. Miss her so badly (i miss someone, dad. Missed him so much). ”

“Who?”

“I don’t know, dad. Sometimes I could hear his voice, sometimes I saw the faintness of his face. I don't know who he is, Dad. I'm sure I miss him a lot. Here..this chest is like full of longing for him,” Nick patted his chest slowly.

“If you have anything to ask, ask. Even though daddy doesn't know much about your life, but daddy will try to help you remember the things you want to know.”

“No, dad. I’ll find out by my self (no, dad. I'll find out for myself). I don't want to make mom and dad quarrel.”

“You know about it (you know about it?).”

“Come on dad. Maybe I lost my memories, but I’m not a child. Your silent, slamming at the door, I know it (come on. Maybe I lost my memory, but I'm not a child. Your residence, dings at the door, I know that).”

Bryan gave a faint smile. Of course Nick can realize his quarrel with Diah, only this time the atmosphere between them heated up. Had Diah known what she felt, she probably wouldn't have insisted on covering up the truth Nick wanted to know.

“Dad.. about the coffee shop, can I open it anytime soon?”

“Of course. Everything is ready, anytime you want you can start.”

“Daddy did deliberately set this up for me right?”

“Iya. Because daddy wishes you could go back to your old life. Someone is waiting for you, it's time you walked up to him.”

“Is she the woman that always comes to my mind? Which brings longing in my heart?”

“Hmm. she's that woman.”

“Thank you dad's. I’m gonna find her, as soon as possible (thank you, dad. I'll find him as soon as possible.”

“My prayers always for you (doI always be with you)”

Nick hugged Bryan tightly. He who initially felt frustrated with everything that happened to him, now began to change with a burning spirit. Diah who had just arrived there, was stunned to look at the scene in front of him. His heart began to doubt whether his choice of separating Iza from Nick was the right decision.

🍂🍂🍂

Nick's struggle considering Iza will start ya gaeess.. kira² will be full of tears what a newness ya🤔.
